FSFE's volunteer Nermin distributing Free Software love in Turkey

Sunday 14 February 2016 was a day to declare love for
people we care for. On this day, as a yearly tradition, the Free Software
community celebrates "I love Free Software" day to thank developers behind Free
Software. This year, for the 6th time, FSFE asked everyone to participate and
express their appreciation and gratitude to their favourite Free Software
contributors.

We gathered the variety of love declarations that happened on this day,
including blog posts, pictures, comics, videos and more. FSFE thanks everyone
who participated and who made #ilovefs day a success. Please mark next year's
14 February as "I Love Free Software" day to continue this nice tradition of
acknowledging the people and hard work of everyone behind Free Software.

Fairphone also confessed their love for Free Software

"I love Free Software, because..."

Love for Free Software got expressed in many ways. Favourite projects got
named and acknowledged during FOSDEM (see our gallery) with
users and developers expressing their gratitude towards projects their love.
Check it out if your favourite Free Software is missing from the list and use
the chance to say "thank you".

We want to thank all #ilovefs participants for acknowledging the importance
of a hard work and dedication of individuals behind Free Software on the day we
celebrate love. Mark the date, 14 February, for the next year to acknowledge
the ones that were not mentioned this time. We also encourage you to say thank
you in between whenever you feel it is appropriate.
